Kaitlyn Trussell

Birth Doula in Seattle, WA

Birth is one of the most powerful experiences life has to offer.

My work blends modern evidence based practices with the nurturing, empathic and holistic support that you need.

“Kaitlyn is a highly intuitive birth support doula. She was exceptionally attentive to me and my partner during our prolonged unmedicated labor at home, at the birth center, and at the hospital. I especially appreciated her instincts for when to provide soothing touch (counter pressure and massage) and that she encouraged movement and other coping strategies that we had prepared for during our prenatal meetings. My partner and I are incredibly grateful to have had her enduring support and devotion to stay with us as long as it took to safely deliver our baby. We highly recommend her.”

Investment

Sliding scale: $800-$1300

Getting a doula in Seattle can be expensive. I hope to serve families that need doula care but may not be able to afford it while I gain experience in my practice. In exchange for providing services at a discounted rate, I ask for an evaluation that I will submit towards Dona certification and an honest testimonial that I can share.

About Me

I'm Kaitlyn, a compassionate birth doula. During birth, moms need a space that tends to their needs, not the needs of others. I'm passionate about helping mothers experience birth in a way that suits their individual needs and wishes.

I've always been passionate about women's health, wellbeing and experience, and the role that birth plays within them. Through navigating the healthcare system with loved-ones I’ve learned that the medical system can have limitations in understanding an individual as a whole person. This is where a supportive, caring and compassionate advocate can make a difference.

Through our prenatal visits, we will co create an individualized birth plan that sets you up for comfort and tends to your unique needs. We will also explore your emotional and physical outcome desires, and learn about all the tools you have to help you achieve them. I will help you prepare for post-partum and discover how I can best support you throughout this full journey.
